LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - An unruly Little Rock crowd heckled and shouted at two Arkansas Democratic congressmen Wednesday, accusing them of supporting a government-backed health plan that would take away Americans' personal choice and freedom.

At one point, U.S. Rep. Mike Ross sat with his head in his hands while the crowd shouted. He and fellow Democratic Rep.

Vic Snyder told audience members at a forum at Arkansas Children's Hospital that they wouldn't support a completely government-run, single-payer health insurance plan.

We need to publish a “Chicken List” of all congressmen who are afraid and cancel their town hall meetings.

For any Arkansas FReepers who might want to attend...there is a health care tea party type demonstration at Rep. Boozman’s office here in Fort Smith on Sat., August 22nd at noon. Either check the AR state board here on FR or send me a FReepmail for details. We are taking our four offspring and heading over there (we don’t live very far from the office). Hope to see some FReepers there!

But, but, but...
DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND????

ONLY ACORN and approved Taxpayer-supported Democrat groups like Rainbow-PUSH or the SEIU are allowed to protest like this!!

If WE do it, it’s REICH-WING TACTICS, reminiscent of Hitler and Germany! Using Democrat’s own tactics aagainst them is NAZI-like!!

HOW DARE WE!!

Or, as it’s being spun on KOS:

“URGENT: Tommorrow Stop Them in Denver.

The tea baggers are taking their cues and shutting down our democracy -again. They did it in 2000. Now they are doing it with healthcare reform. They tell Chris Dodd to commit suicide. They physically threaten dem congress persons. Tonight we learn of death threats against Rep Miller of NC just for wanting to host a townall. The police are involved and its deemed too dangerous to go on with t he event. Tommorrow we have a chance to tell these people no!

These Right wing tactics are ones we know well. My family learned them back in Europe. In the 30s poltical discussion was shut down by thugs comming to potlical salons etc and by using threats and violence shut down their right to speak openly.”

The meme is being set, and MANY in the MSM are only too happy to play along! Remember, we are TOO WELL DRESSED to be anything but PAID PROTESTORS!!

That’s one thing about these leftists/statists -

they try to claim that they only want “a little bit of socialism”,

as if the government will restrain itself,
and the people in the bureaucracies will restrain themselves.

I guess it goes back to THE basis of their ideological error:
that humanity is basically good instead of depraved.

It’s “keep your laws off my body”.

Yes, we should have signs to that effect.

There’s NOTHING that makes a leftist more
angry than having their slogans shoved back
in their own faces.

That statement reveals the worldview they teach in schools -

the basic “goodness” of mankind,
instead of his basic depravity and likelihood to do evil if given the power to do so.

I’m guessing “Lord of the Flies” is not taught anymore.

Thank YOU! You rang that bell. heh heh

We could add; stay out of my bank account, out of my marriage and on and on considering some of the provisions in their stinking "health care" bill.

Camel Anus is from Camel Snus. A fine product, I’m sure. Comes in handy as an editorial comment.
